KITCHEN-CABINET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 3, 1906.

Application filed October '7, 1905. Serial No. 281,849.

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM C. HORNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Indiana olis, in the county of Marion and State of In 'ana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Kitchen-Cabinets, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to produce a cabinet (especially designed for the base of a kitchen-cabinet) in which there shall be e'mbodied a swinging bin, the exposed portion of said bin having the general appearance of a drawer-front and so arranged that swinging doors formin a closure for the main portion of the base of the cabinet may be swung beneath the bin-front to hide the lower portion of the bin and to prevent said bin from being swung outward to open position until after the swinging doors have been opened.

The accompanying drawings illustrate my invention.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a cabinet embodying my invention with the bin and swinging doors in closed position; Fig. 2, a similar view showing the swinging doors %pened, and Fig. 3 a section on line 3 3 of In the drawings, 10 indicates a box-like base having a table-top 11 and an open front Within the casing 10 I arrange hangers 13, connected at their bottoms by a cross-bar 14, upon which is pivotally supported by crotchbrackets 15 a swinging bin 16, having a projectin front 17 in the simulation of an ordinary 13, as at 17', in order to limit the closing movement of the bin.

In the drawings I show the bin flanked at each side by a drawer 18; but these may be omitted, if desired, and the bin may be supported by any suitable means other than that shown. That portion of the open front of the casing 10 beneath the drawers 18 and the portion 17 of the bin 16 is closed by a pair of swinging doors 1919, hinged at their edges to the front corner-posts of the casing 10, and said doors 19 are of such height as to swing awer-front which overlaps the hangers under the bin-front 17, so as to cover the main lower portion of the bin from sight and so as to revent any downward and outward swing of the bin so long as the doors remain closed. By this construction and arrangement I am able to prevent accidental opening of the bin and am also able to disguise the appearance of the bin when the cabinet is closed, thus eliminating an objectionable appearance of the structure.

I claim as my invention 1. The combination, with a suitable inclosing casing having an open front, of a bin movably mounted in said casing and having a projecting front finishing plate 17, and a closure for the open front of the casing arranged to lie beneath said finishing-plate when closed.

2. The combination, with a suitable inclosing casing havin an open front, of a bin movably mounts in said casing and having a projecting portion, a closure adapted to close the open front of the casing and, when closed, to lie under the projecting portion of the brain.

3. The combination, with a suitable inclosing casing having an open front, of a bin structure pivotally mounted therein and provided at its upper forward end with a finishplate, and a swinging closure adapted to close the open face of. the casing and swing beneath said finish-plate.

4. The combination, with a suitable inclosing casing having an open front, of a bin structure pivotally mounted therein and provided at its upper forward end with a projecting finish-plate, and a pair of swinging doors hinged at the opposite sides of the casing-opening and adapted to swing beneath the finish-plate when the bin is closed In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal, at Indianapolis, Indiana, this 27th day of September, A. D. 1905 WILLIAM C. HORNER.
